1.	Does anybody have a Wordstar to nroff filter?  Or would you enlighten
me as to exactly what all those eight bits mean?

2.  I have a floppy from Japan which was created on a Hitachi MS-Dos
v2.11 machine.  Apparently the HI hi-density drive is different from
my AT hi-density drive.  As below:

	Total disk capacity				1.26MB
	Number of tracks				154 ( 77 x 2 sides )
	Sector/track					8
	Sector length					1024
	Number of directories			192
	(Root directory)
	Reserved sector					1
	Number of FAT (file allocation table)	2
	Sectors/FAT 					2
	Sectors/Allocation Unit			1
	Media Descriptor Byte			FA

	Contents of the Disk
	Track No.	Head No.	Sector No.	Record No.	Contents
        0          0            1           0       Boot record
                                                    (generated from Format)
        0          0            2-5         1-4     FAT ( Includes Backup)
        0          0            6-8         5-10    Directory
        0          1            1-3         5-10    Directory
        0-76       1-1(sic)     4-8         11-1231 Data Area

The above is( I hope a duplicate) of the information I received.  If
anybody has an idea about how I can read this, please help.

Thanks in advance,
